USCIS ELIS account?

[luukee 19]

Hello VJers

 

i'm working on our i751 form and reading the instructions, it mentions if we had an elis account number to fill it out on the form.  I'm not sure if we had it, so I tried accessing the site, but it seems like they may have disabled the account

 

from i751 form instructions:

 

4. USCIS Online Account Number (if any). If you have previously filed an application, petition, or request using the
USCIS online filing system (previously called USCIS Electronic Immigration System (USCIS ELIS)), provide the
USCIS Online Account Number you were issued by the system. You can find your USCIS Online Account Number
by logging in to your account and going to the profile page. If you previously filed certain applications, petitions,
or requests on a paper form via a USCIS Lockbox facility, you may have received a USCIS Online Account Access
Notice issuing you a USCIS Online Account Number. If you received such a notice, your USCIS Online Account
Number can be found at the top of the notice. If you were issued a USCIS Online Account Number, enter it in the
space provided. The USCIS Online Account Number is not the same as an A-Number.

USCIS Immigrant Fee

Note: If you paid the USCIS Immigrant Fee before August 31, 2015, you will no longer have access to your online account.

so i'm sure we paid the fee before that as my spouse entered the US In July 2015.

 

is there another way to find the account? or do we need the account?

 

thank you

We filed 2 weeks ago and faced the same dilemma. From polling others, the consensus seems to be to leave that blank. I don't believe anyone is getting an RFE on that.
